Chapter 265: A Little Princess Lives Deep in My Heart (First Update 4000)
Fang Yu, who had just finished a war situation analysis meeting with Lu Xuechang, felt something was wrong when he returned to Hanning Mansion.
"This ball isn't watching TV!?"
I touched the back of the LCD TV and it was cold.
Looking at the silver-gleaming pomelo on the concave stone pillar in the living room, Fang Yu felt as relieved as a parent who comes home and sees his child doing homework.
Youzi specifically asked Fang Yu to bring back the stone pillar where it had been staying in the Lorraine Tower. Fang Yu also specially covered the concave top with a layer of velvet.
Otherwise, every time the grapefruit fell on it, there would always be a snapping sound, and sometimes there would be a squeaking sound when it moved, which made Fang Yu's scalp tingle.
The silver light composed of bright silver spots in the body of Yuzu flickers and flows like the stars, indicating that Yuzu is very focused.
Fang Yu didn't disturb it. He turned back to the basement and began to meditate.
The underground meditation room was built by Fang Yu according to the specifications of the paid meditation room in the Lorraine Tower.
The wooden door of the meditation room is very heavy, and there is a miniature magic circle on the inside of the door. After embedding 6 1-unit magic crystals, this magic circle can be activated for simple protection and complete silence.
Six magic crystals of 1 unit can support the magic circle for ten years.
The meditation room is not big, with only less than ten square meters of space. Six obsidian pillars are placed on the ground, forming a hexagon. The ground within the hexagon is inlaid with colorless transparent crystal chips.
In the middle of these chips is a leather-like cushion.
In mid-air, dozens of pure silver rings of various sizes were suspended from flowing silver threads hanging from the ceiling. Some of the rings were nested within each other, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional magic array.
This is the standard meditation circle of the Great Arcana Age - the Whistler Circle.
The Whistler Array can stabilize the magic network energy of nearby magic network nodes, thereby increasing meditation efficiency by 20 to 30 percent.
Fang Yu sat on the cushion and entered into meditation skillfully. The rings around him that were originally swaying slightly due to the airflow seemed to be fixed by something. They all stopped swaying in an instant and emitted a buzzing high-frequency vibration.
The magic net energy, which was originally not stable, began to become more and more stable after several circulations along the silver rings hanging in the air, and was then absorbed by Fang Yu in the center of the magic circle. When the magic power was absorbed to the limit, a part of the magic power would quietly merge into Fang Yu's sea of consciousness, secretly increasing the total capacity of this sea.
"Huh~ My magic power should be 390 now, almost reaching 400." Fang Yu estimated the total amount of magic power in his body.
When casting spells without using a magic cube, Fang Yu defines the magic power required for a 0-level spell as 1 unit.
A 1st-level spell requires 6 units of mana, a 2nd-level spell requires 12 units, and at 3rd-level spells, the mana required for each spell begins to differ.
Spells like Fireball only require 24 units of mana, but spells like Protective Field cost up to 32 units of mana.
Fang Yu actually has more magic power than he can use up every day. If it weren't for increasing his magic power limit, he wouldn't have to meditate three times a day.
After the meditation ended, I returned to the living room and saw that the silver starlight on Yuzu's body had turned into a light band, rotating rapidly inside Yuzu's body.
Ouch, is this running at full power?
How come this ball is so hard-working?
It doesn't look like it.
This kind of full-power operation is very burdensome for Yuzu. After each operation, it will be sluggish for a day or two, so Yuzu generally does not turn on this state.
Fang Yu touched his chin and pondered for a while. The silver light on Yuzi's body slowly subsided and turned into a light yellow light again.
"Success! I finally succeeded! Hahahahahaha, I finished the chipset design and architecture roadmap on schedule! And three hours ahead of schedule. Professor Yorz is truly the greatest genius in the entire universe!"
Huh? This ball is actually designing chips and architecture?
Three hours early?
I didn't set a time limit for him.
Fang Yu had been having trouble believing that Youzi was really doing something serious. He was still wondering how many times he should shock this guy if he came up with a collection of hot and beautiful moments.
"Huh? Master, you're back?" Seeing Fang Yu in the living room, Youzi was startled and his face flashed with guilt.
Fang Yu felt even more that something was wrong.
"Have you come up with a design?" Fang Yu remained calm. "What exactly is it?"
"Master, please wait a moment. I will print it out for you." Youzi looked like a servile boy, and the Lexmark CX923dte printer next to him kua, kua, kua printed out dozens of pages of A4 paper.
"The first chip designed by Orange Model and I uses the newly designed guangyuan architecture." Youzi did not introduce the chip first, but talked about the newly constructed motherboard architecture first. Yellow light flashed on his body, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Guangyuan?" Fang Yu thought about it for a moment and understood what it meant. It was the place where oranges were produced.
"Under the Guangyuan architecture, it can support up to 120 TFLOPS of double-precision computing power, can support up to four chips in parallel, supports 128G of DDR4 memory, and uses a Y-Link dedicated data bus interface to provide 256G of bandwidth to support high-speed communication between chips and between chips and other components of the motherboard."
Fang Yu looked through the information.
The Guangyuan architecture developed by Youzi is highly specialized and is only suitable for its matching OrangeCore large-scale computing chip.
"The Orange Core is a large-size chip, measuring 500 square millimeters. A standard wafer with a diameter of 300 millimeters can produce 106 chips. It has built-in instruction sets for the Pomelo framework and the Orange large model-specific instruction set, which supports large-scale rectangular operations, nonlinear activation functions, and convolution operations."
"After calculation, we found that a multi-core design is not necessary at present, so the Orange Core is a single-core chip."
"The Orange Core is equipped with high-speed cache and high-bandwidth memory interfaces to support efficient data transfer. The memory architecture is optimized for the memory requirements of large-scale deep learning models, ensuring that data can reach the computing unit in the shortest possible time."
"Because the entire chip adopts a highly simplified design, it can focus more on computing accuracy and efficiency. When performing inference calculations on the Orange large model, the double-precision computing power can reach 25 TFLOPS per core."
!!!!!!
Compared with M60, it is more than 15 times the improvement!
The computing power of the P100 announced by Nvidia should only be tripled!
"The main advantage of Orange Core lies in the systematic simplification of its architecture. Although adopting a lower process node would further increase computing power, due to current bottlenecks in other hardware devices, the computing power of 25 TFLOPS per chip is already the limit. There is no need to reduce the process node further. Therefore, the first Orange Core processor still uses the mature 60nm process node."
Wow wow wow!
60 nanometers?
This should have been the process from five or six years ago, right?
Maturity is good, it saves costs.
The foundry cost of a 300mm diameter 60nm wafer at TSMC is about 3,000 dollars, and the material cost is about 700 dollars, which averages out to about 35 dollars per chip.
Including packaging and other costs, if controlled reasonably, the cost of a single chip can be controlled within 50 yuan!
Of course, this is just the production and manufacturing cost. The actual chip production still has to include R&D and management costs.
But I don’t have the R&D costs!
Wait, did I see that wrong?
What is the power consumption marked on this drawing?
23 watts? 41 watts at extreme load?
"Yes, Master, it is indeed that high." Yuzu looked over and said smugly, "I've calculated this power consumption several times, and it's definitely correct."
"Due to the use of modular computing and fuzzy computing principles, the power consumption of Orange Core is 23W under the 60nm process. If it uses the 14nm process, the power consumption should be controlled within 10W, but it is not necessary."
Wow grass, wow grass, wow grass!
Is this how the biggest cost is saved?
What is AI ultimately fighting for?
It's energy!
It's electricity!
Take the M60 as an example. The power consumption of a chip is 300w. Taking into account other miscellaneous hardware, the average power consumption of a chip is about 420w.
This does not include another major electricity consumer - the cooling system.
If it is a computing center with 1,000 chips, the daily electricity consumption will be at least 25,000 kWh!
According to the industrial electricity price of 0.635 yuan, the daily electricity bill is less than 20,000 yuan.
But now, the maximum power consumption has been reduced, the heat has been reduced, and the cooling cost will also be reduced. The daily power consumption of a computing center with 1,000 orange cores can definitely be controlled within 8,000 degrees!
No, if there are only 1,000 chips, Orange Core can connect four chips in parallel, with one motherboard supporting four chips, and using immersion cooling technology, the power consumption can be even lower!
In May, after Youzi has completed the distribution of the underlying rules of the Orange model, it will release part of the architecture as open source. When the whole world starts using this architecture, it will be possible to use chips for secondary harvesting!
Kill two birds with one stone, so delicious!
"Master..." Seeing that Fang Yu was in a good mood, Youzi cautiously asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be improved?"
Fang Yu was indeed in a good mood. Although he had not figured out what he would do after mastering the global AI, it felt good to be the boss behind the scenes.
It feels as good as the emperor's secret visit.
Normally, he would have fun with the people and flirt with decent women. But when he encountered local tyrants and evil gentry, a royal guard would come up and pull out a gold medal, saying, "How dare you! The emperor is here! Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Then comes the well-loved plot of the upright judge, with heads of local tyrants and evil gentry rolling, the people shouting "Long live the emperor", and he laughs and takes good women as concubines into the palace.
By then, an artificial intelligence with 23 levels of authority will be created. The lowest level is 23, the servant level. Among those with levels 17 and 8, there will definitely be evildoers. When he made the stupid remarks, "I have level 17 authority and come from the Long family, a family with level 15 authority. What level are you?", his subordinates inadvertently showed their level 4 or 5 authority, which immediately shocked everyone.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
"Not bad." Fang Yu praised Youzi and said casually, "Look, as long as you focus, you can do it pretty quickly. The distributed law shouldn't take until May, right?"
Yuzu choked, "Uh, Master, I'll try my best."
Huh?
Why is the ball so easy to talk to today?
"Master, I, I have a request..." Yuzu's body glowed with shyness, "Sunday... Sunday night, can you take me to the Westin for dinner?"
As soon as Fang Yu saw the color on Youzi's body, he knew that this ball was becoming crazy again.
Eating at the Westin? What kind of meal are you eating with a ball?
"I won the grand prize in a lottery under Repa's Weibo post. I can have dinner with her at the Westin Restaurant in Haixi on Sunday..."
The pink color on the pomelo became darker and darker, and was almost turning red.
Grand Prize? Didn’t Reba block you?
Fang Yu intuitively felt that something was wrong.
Not to mention the probability of winning the grand prize, even if you really win the grand prize, how could the grand prize be dining alone with a female star in a five-star hotel?
Let’s have dinner.
And what a coincidence, the location is in Haixi.
Haixi is not an entertainment center city, and not many celebrities come here every year. If celebrities come to Haixi just to have dinner with fans, it would be too cheap for them.
"I definitely won't say anything or move around! I promise!" Seeing Fang Yu remained silent, Youzi quickly expressed her determination, "I just want to see her up close. She's really beautiful, okay, Master~"
After saying this, Youzi still felt that Fang Yu might not agree, so she conjured a pitiful crying face on the sphere.
"Okay, then I'll go with you on Sunday." Fang Yu blinked.
"Yeah!" Yuzu rolled around the house excitedly.
Sugar-coated bullet or Hongmen Banquet?
Who cares? No matter what she's up to, return the medicine and leave the meat gourd to me!
Huh? So, am I cheating on you? Isn't that a bad idea?
"Yuzi, you were created by Sekalis. Did he create a gender for you?" Fang Yu suddenly remembered that he had never asked Yuzi this question before.
Yuzu was stunned. "Master, I am an arcane life form. Arcane life forms have no gender. The spirituality in me comes from the spiritual sea of the astral world. The spiritual sea is the ocean of the spirits of all living things, regardless of gender."
"Then what gender do you think you are? In other words, if you were turned into a human, what gender would you choose?" Fang Yu persisted.
Yuzu's body flashed pink, and she whispered shyly: "Master, why are you asking this? I just want to be a little princess living in a castle~"
Ugh~
What the hell is this little princess living in a castle?
Fang Yu almost vomited.
No wonder you love watching soap operas so much.
"Then why do you only like female stars? Why don't you like male stars?" Fang Yu was puzzled.
"Because female celebrities are beautiful." Yuzu's light flickered, and she was quite puzzled. "Don't girls all love beauty? And Reba has a lot of female fans."
Okay, okay, forget it.
It seems like there's a little princess living deep inside you.
If you keep asking, you'll have to come up with 52 more genders. (Note 1) I'll check to see if there's a gender that has a little princess inside.
Note 1: Eight years ago, there were approximately 52 genders recognized by LGBTQ organizations in Miami. Currently, the number has grown to 97, and some say 102.
First ask for the guaranteed monthly ticket, and then have a chat.
The protagonist's AI work will undoubtedly liberate humanity's productivity. How this liberation will unfold and how it will drive change in the human world will be initially explored in Chapters 320 and 350. The true transformation will begin around Chapter 550. The book will conclude around 900 chapters and is expected to be approximately 3 million words.
Of course, if your results have been lukewarm, you may be advised to finish it as soon as possible, in which case the progress will be faster.
I can only say that this is the most reasonable, fair and beautiful future for mankind that I can think of.
The changes that AI has brought to human society are unprecedented. Going right means cyberpunk, and going left means world peace. It is almost impossible for a middle path to emerge.
Regardless of how the real world evolves, I will write down the best solution that comes to my mind.
In addition, the issue about this chip is not an exaggeration. In real life, there are people who are already doing this kind of work, namely Etched. This small company, which was established less than four years ago, has now obtained Series A financing and seems to be about to tape out. The performance and specifications of the transformer-specific chip they have announced are much more exaggerated than those of Orange Seed.
